Neptune, Museum ship at Porto Antico, Genova, Italy

The Neptune galleon spans 65 meters in length, featuring wooden sculptures, cannons, and multiple decks accessible to visitors at the ancient harbor.

Built in 1986 at Port El Kantaoui shipyards in Tunisia, this vessel was specifically constructed for Roman Polanski's film 'Pirates' and later appeared in television productions.

The ship represents a detailed reproduction of a 17th-century Spanish galleon, complete with period-accurate cabins, hatches, and maritime architectural elements.

Located between Galata Maritime Museum and Genoa Aquarium, the Neptune welcomes visitors daily for self-guided tours at 6 euros per person.

Despite being constructed as a film set, the vessel includes modern engineering features like a steel hull and an engine capable of three-knot navigation.
